Make TextEditor Widget Read-Only Programmatically

I am having trouble determining how to programmatically set a TextEditor widget to be Read-Only.  I want to do something like:
(self wrapperAt: #textEditor) makeReadOnly
I don't see a method that allows me to do that, but I see that I can create the widget in the GUI Painter Read-Only, so I suspect that it can be done later during program execution also.

Upon further search, I see that I can apply #isReadOnly: to the wrapper spec:
(self wrapperAt: #textEditor) spec isReadOnly: true
But I'm not sure what I have to do to cause the #textEditor to pick up that spec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi grovesr.

send the controller readOnly: true or
install a ReadOnlyTextEditorController as new controller for the widget. The Spec-installing procedure does this way.

Hi Josef,
Sending readOnly: true  to the TextEditorController worked like a charm.  Thanks.
